I am trying to use my iPhoto pictures as my screen saver on my mac book air.  Many of the pictures' heads are cut off.  How do I get the pictures to fit the screen properly without the pictures be distorted?

Open the screen saver control panel. Right above the preview window there's a popup menu. You'll probably want to set it to "Fit to screen" so the pictures will be resized to show on the display.

  • I made an album in iPhoto and when it plays through the "slideshow", heads are cut off in some of the pictures.  How do I fix this?

    I made an album in iPhoto and when it plays through the "slideshow", heads are cut off in some of the pictures.  How do I fix this?

    When running a slideshow from an album it will not run properly if the photos are sorted manually.  Sort them by any of the other options, title, date, rating, etc. and it will play correctly.
    Send a report of the problem to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
    If you must sort them manually create the slideshow in the slideshow mode in iPhoto, not from an album.

    Posting "Check the 'More like this'" area and not simply providing the answer is a great way to make these groups worthless.
    You're ignoring context.  On the old Apple Discussion Groups I never posted replies like that, instead giving people relatively detailed answers.  The new Apple Support Communities made things worse by introducing certain inefficiencies.  Then came Lion.  The flood of messages that came with Lion required a painful choice for any of the people who had been helping here: (1) Give quality responses to a few questions and ignore the rest.  (2) When applicable, give a brief answer such as the one that you found objectionable.  (3) Give up all the other normal activities of life and spend full time trying to answer questions here.
    People who needed help with Lion problems seemed to have trouble discovering existing message threads that described how to solve their problems.  I never posted the suggestion of "Check the 'More like this' area" without verifying that the help that the poster needed could be found there.  Even doing that, what I posted saved me time that I could use to help someone else.
    The people helping here are all volunteers.  None of them is being paid for the time they spend here.  They all have a life outside of Apple Support Communities.  It's arrogant of you to demand that people helping here spend more time than they already do.

  • The song titles are displayed incorrectly, how do I fix this?

    Ever since an update of itunes a couple of months ago, the titles have been displayed incorrectly in my library. I listen to a lot of Chinese, Korean, and Japanese music and after the update the information turned into squares. I went online and tried the much given solution of converting the id3 tags. This resulted in all my songs (even the english ones) turning to Chinese script when I reversed unicode, which was solved by reversing it again. However after trying all the id3 versions I am now left with a part of my songs being displayed as ?????? and with the other, largest part having the correct names but with the symbol Ƞ spread throughout the titles, which is annoying to say the least.
    Other programmes on my computer display the different scripts just fine, and I have Japanese and Korean installed so as to be able to write it. The songs are also still displayed correctly if I acces them in their folders.
    I am kind of losing hope after trying to find a solution on the internet for a while now, and have even re-installed itunes completely, to no avail.
    If anyone has any suggestions or possible solutions, I'd be very grateful.

    Hi Treenr3,
    Sounds like you have been on the right track with regard to troubleshooting this issue. It may be worth going over the font troubleshooting in the following article, just to double check (it refers to a previous version of iTunes, but the troubleshooting steps should be similar).
    iTunes 9: Font text is incoherent or appears in a different language

    It may also be worth trying some isolation troubleshooting in new test user account with just a couple of the tracks that are having issues to see if it persists.

  • When i plug headphones into my computer, the speakers do not shut off. how do i fix this?

    I am running Windows & on an HP. not sure of the model number. But the sound system is IDT. It worked fine up until about a year ago. And now whenever you plug headphones in, the speakers do not turn off, but yet the headphones still work. any solutions?

    When in DFU mode and connected to the computer iTunes does not say anything but iTunes will see the iPod and you can restore the iPod via iTunes. When in recovery mode and you connect, iTunes will say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • I can't seem to rotate my screen while the rotation lock is turned off, how can I fix this for an iPod 5?

    I tried to restart my iPod and reset it but my screen still won't rotate what should I do?

    Are you trying with an app that support rotation? Not all apps support rotation. Safari does support rotation.
    If that does not rotate
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes      
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • HT1926 on install i get a message that the package has error code 2324. how do i fix this?

    Installing update I get a message that the package didn't install and that the error code is 2324. How do I fix this?

    The first thing I would suggest is for you to go to the folder containing your catalog, using your system browser. There will be a folder that has the extension .lrdata. Delete that folder, and then try to start Lightroom. If that doesn't work, replace your catalog with your most recent backup.

  • I downloaded pictures to iphoto yesterday of my sister's Bat mitzvah, all of them are there except 10 of them are just caution signs. How do I fix this without losing the photos?

    I downloaded pictures to iphoto yesterday of my sister's Bat mitzvah, all of them are there except 10 of them are just caution signs. How do I fix this without losing the photos?

    The warning triangle means, that iPhoto has lost the connection between the thumbnails and the photos and cannot show them in the browser.
    Rebuild the iPhoto library to reconnect the photos. What is your iPhoto version? If it is iPhoto '11 do the following:
    Back up your iPhoto library.
    Hold down the command and option/ alt keys while double-clicking the iPhoto icon to launch iPhoto.
    Keep holding down the keys until you are seeing the FirstAid panel.
    Select "rebuild database" from the panel.
    Does that bring your photos back?
    If not, download iPhoto Library Manager and use the rebuild function.
    See Old Toad's post:
      Re: iPhoto has crashed on a number of occasions, but on 2 occasions also seems to delete several events, including the one I'm editing. When I go to reimport the last event, it shows them as already there. But I can't find them.

  • When I share a pages document as a PDF (via e-mail) all the pictures change from the original document, most are missing with just a few of them repeated in the spots where others had been.  How do I do this without the document changing?

    I need to be able to send it to a PC in order to print it.

    Hard to say what is happening without examining the file.
    If you like click on my blue name and email me both the .pages file and the the .pdf you have made from it.

    ps It would help to say what version of Pages you are using and on what you are running it. iOS or Mac and what version.

  • I added photos of our company's products to the Goods App for our sales team to use as an electronic catalog.  Some of the pictures display perfectly.  Others are blury.  How can I fix this?

    I added photos of our company's products to the Goods App for our sales team to use as an electronic catalog.  Some of the pictures display perfectly.  Others are blury.  How can I fix this? I Googled pixel size for Ipads and checked this size against the blury photos.  They seem to be less than the max pixels allowed.  Must be another solution????

    Ged,
    whilst generally I agree with you a question (or two) for clarification so we can be sure we're not comparing apples with oranges
    I'm not familiar with O2's product lineup but given you're on Annex M is that a business package?
    Are you on an Infinity residential or business package?
    On the subject of the offshore support teams my experience from the other sife of the fence is that many, many of them are very technically orientated. The problem is that the ISPs they work for don't give them access to many of the tools that are needed (they need to raise internal requests to even get line checks done in some cases) and also they are very heavily scripted & monitored in what they do/say on a call.
    Sounds like O2 are operating as a contact centre rather than as a call centre which is much more preferable from the customers point of view.
    DISCLAIMER: although I work in the industry I do not work for BT and any opinions given are purely my own.

    When you launch iPhoto with the option key depressed you'll get this window:

    All libraries on your hard drive (and on external drives) will be listed and the currently used library will be listed as (default).
